    Wow, 2011... too old. Never played WoW, so can't compare... And finding this one already enough of a drain on my time, so unlikely to pick up another MMO. Not for now anyway.

    Oh, don't worry, I wasn't suggesting you should try WoW.

    I think a large part of why I enjoy SWTOR is that it is the only mmo I've really played (I did give LoTRO a go when it came out, but couldn't get into it), therefore I can appreciate the game for what it is, without worrying about what it isn't.

    Anyway, if you need any help or advice let me know.

    Hey! Yeah, looking around so far. Which crew skills to pick? Seems silly to speak of a crew, since i only have the big ugly dude following me around. Also, what order should i do the missions in on Dromund Kaas. I ventured into the temple first, but was smacked down so many times i desisted, and pointed my nose elsewhere.

    What kind of level would i need to get through the heroic missions solo? I'm currently around 13, and dont like sharing loot!

    If you just follow your class quest you get sent to each area in turn, and should be around the level of the area's side quests. The Dark Temple is the last area you quest through on DK.

    I believe F2Ps only get one crew skill? If so I would go slicing, gets you credits from lockboxes. Crew skills come into effect more after the Capital World, when you get the ship droid so you have someone to send out and someone to journey with you.

    As for Heroics, it depends on your character and comp, some can do 2+s at one or two levels higher, or even on level, for 4+s you generally need to be quite a bit higher. Generally doing them in groups is worthwhile, the best gear is usually given out as a quest reward and you get Social Points. It is also good practice for grouping if you do Flashpoints. Which you should, though I think F2Ps are restricted to a few a week.

    I got a package that expands on some of these - have 3 crew skills, for example. Ran into a weird glitch on the Black Talon FP, after soloing through it, and clicking on the galactic screen at the end to return to the Imperial Fleet I get a consistent CTD. It doesn't matter what option is selected, the game just kicks me out to desktop... Very annoying, specially as it is the very end of the sequence.

    That Black Talon crash has been around forever, though I've never had it. Apparently the way around it is to play in windowed mode, and tab out just after you make your selection, then go back in again after about 30 seconds.

    If you have 3 crew skills, as an Inq I would go Artifice, Archaeology and Treasure Hunting.

    Ah, heh, i would have thought they would have fixed it since 07... Anyway. Hmm, treasure hunting? I went with Synthweaving, Slicing, and Archaeology... is that not a good combo? I was thinking that once Slicing ceases to be profitable I could switch it out for something else... So far it has helped me make an extra 3k on DK...

    Also, when is it ever worth rev engineering stuff? Is it worth doing with green/blue/purple gear?
